Czech General Election 2021
The Czech general election in early October and their impacts have brought many moments of surprise. First of all, incumbent Prime Minister Andrej Babis’ ruling party was defeated by two centre-right coalitions of 5 parties. The most extreme populists and the communists have not made it into the Parliament, while liberal parties received a clear majority in the House. Overall, the outcome of the vote is widely considered as a victory for liberal democracy in the Czech Republic.
CNB Interest Hike to Combat Strong Inflation
In early October, the Czech National Bank (CNB) took an action the market had not seen for more than two decades: the CNB raised its reference rate by 75 basis points taking the two-week repo rate to 1.50 %. The unexpected move was driven by higher-than-expected inflation data. The annual inflation rate based on index of consumer prices reached 4.1 % in August, being the highest since 2008.
